Footwear - Test methods for uppers - Resistance to rubbing using a rubber strip (ISO 24265:2020)

This document specifies a method for the determination of the rubbing resistance of leather and synthetic materials using rubber.
The method aims to establish testing conditions that are similar to those of the practical use of footwear subjected to drastic stress, as is the case of hiking or children's footwear, where the upper of one of the shoes is expected to rub with the sole of the other.
This method is applicable to all types of leather and synthetic materials intended for shoe uppers.

Schuhe - Prüfverfahren für Oberteile - Prüfung der Reibfestigkeit mit einem Gummikissen (ISO 24265:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Reibfestigkeit von Leder und synthetischen Materialien mit einem Gummi fest.
Das Verfahren zielt darauf ab, Prüfbedingungen zu schaffen, die denen ähneln, die in der Praxis bei Schuhen auftreten, die hohen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind, wie bei Wanderschuhen und Kinderschuhen, wo davon ausgegangen wird, dass das Obermaterial des einen Schuhs an der Sohle des anderen Schuhs reibt.
Dieses Verfahren gilt für alle Arten von Leder und synthetischen Materialien, die als Schuhobermaterialien dienen sollen.

Chaussures - Méthodes d'essai pour les tiges - Résistance au frottement à l'aide d'une bande en caoutchouc (ISO 24265:2020)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode pour la détermination de la résistance au frottement du cuir et des matériaux synthétiques à l'aide de caoutchouc.
Cette méthode a pour but d'établir des conditions d'essai similaires aux conditions d'utilisation pratique d'une chaussure soumise à une contrainte intense, comme c'est le cas des chaussures de randonnée ou des chaussures d'enfants, lorsque le frottement de la tige de l'une des chaussures avec la semelle de l'autre chaussure est prévisible.
Cette méthode s'applique à tous les types de cuir et de matériaux synthétiques destinés à la fabrication de tiges de chaussures.

Overview

EN ISO 24265:2020 - Footwear - Test methods for uppers - Resistance to rubbing using a rubber strip specifies a laboratory test to determine the rubbing resistance of leather and synthetic materials used for shoe uppers. The method reproduces severe practical contact (for example, hiking or children’s footwear where an upper rubs against the opposite sole) by using a nitrile rubber strip pressed and moved repeatedly across a conditioned test specimen. This standard is published by CEN as the European adoption of ISO 24265:2020.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Applicable to all types of leather and synthetic materials intended for shoe uppers; designed to simulate drastic stress conditions.
  • Apparatus essentials:
    • Carriage with a flat platform and specimen holder allowing ~80 mm exposure and ≥10% extension in the rubbing direction.
    • Rubbing “finger” assembly with wooden/metal semi‑cylinder (10 mm radius × 20 mm wide) and total mass ≈ 1 000 ± 35 g (finger mass 500 ± 25 g plus additional weight).
    • Drive providing 35–40 mm travel at (40 ± 2) cycles/min.
    • Nitrile rubber strip: (5.0 ± 0.1) mm wide, (5 ± 1) mm thick, 75 ± 3° Shore A, friction coefficient 0.20 ± 0.05; surface roughened before use.
  • Test procedures:
    • Dry test: condition specimens per ISO 18454, mount and stretch (~10%), then run sequential rubbing cycles at set positions - 10, 20 and 30 cycles.
    • Wet test: specimens wetted by vacuum‑assisted immersion protocol, then tested for 5, 10 and 20 cycles; dry before assessment.
  • Assessment and results:
    • Visual change in colour assessed with the grey scale (ISO 105‑A02); record surface damage (loss of finish, flattening of nap, etc.).
    • Test report must reference ISO 24265:2020, describe samples, give results per Clause 8, and note any deviations.

Applications and users

  • Who uses it: footwear manufacturers, material and component suppliers, independent testing laboratories, QA teams, procurement/specification authors, and regulators assessing upper durability.
  • Why it matters:
    • Validates material resistance to mechanical abrasion representative of real wear (hiking, children’s play).
    • Informs material selection, product development, supplier acceptance testing, and quality control decisions.
    • Supports comparative claims and specification compliance for uppers made of leather or synthetics.

Related standards

  • ISO 24265:2020 is linked to/mentions:
    • ISO 18454 - conditioning of footwear components
    • ISO 105‑A02 - grey scale for assessing colour change
    • Tests similar in approach: ISO 11640 (colour fastness to rubbing of leather)
